Chapter 3 Gambling Matches
"Lord!"
Zhao Feng and Guan Hai, who had just entered the gate of Xuzhou City, saw a large group of people walking around surrounded by torches, one of whom was Liu Bei, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet them.
"Bo Tao, Zhongfu has worked hard all the way!" Liu Bei hurriedly helped the two of them, and then introduced the old man beside him to them: "This is Xuzhou Mu Tao Gong, Bo Tao has not seen Tao Fujun quickly." ”
"Meet Tao Fujun!" Zhao Feng and Guan Hai hurriedly saluted again. To be honest, Zhao Feng still has a trace of respect for Tao Qian, an old man, although he has no ability to dominate the world, but it is not easy to keep a safe party in Xuzhou City in troubled times, so that the people can live a little more peacefully.
"Two generals, please get up!" Tao Qian hurriedly stepped forward to help the two of them, and Zhao Feng had the opportunity to take a closer look at this Xuzhou assassin. Seeing that Tao Qian was already quite old, his hair and beard were all gray. And even by the light of the torches, Zhao Feng could see that this old man's face was not very good, and his life was coming to an end.
Then Liu Bei pulled Zhao Feng and Guan Hai to introduce the rest of the people, except for Mi Zhu, who had a relationship with Pingyuan County before, as well as Kong Rong and Tian Kai, who came to the rescue together, as well as some of the original high-level officials in Xuzhou. After the two sides met each other, at Tao Qian's suggestion, everyone went back to Tao Qian's mansion to discuss the next step while picking up the dust for Zhao Feng and others. Zhao Feng noticed that when Shicai was introduced, most of the Xuzhou officials were enthusiastically bowing their hands, but only two people stood aside and were very disdainful, so he took the opportunity to secretly ask Zhang Fei who the two people were.
"Oh, those two are the Yamen general Cao Bao, and Xu Tan is also engaged." Zhang Fei said in a low voice, paused for a moment, and then said: "Shicai Tao Fujun wants to let Xuzhou give to the eldest brother, and everyone else agrees, just these two chirps." ”
"I see." Zhao Feng nodded to indicate that he knew what he knew, but when the two chatted like this, they unconsciously slowed down a lot.
"General Zhang, General Zhao, hurry up." At this time, a military general who looked a little similar to Mi Zhu turned around and urged, Zhao Feng knew that he was Mi Fang, the one who betrayed Guan Yu in history. But now, it doesn't seem to be a sign of anti-bones.
Thinking about it, Mi Fang also followed Liu Bei in honor and disgrace in history, and did not rebel in the most difficult times. In the end, half of the reason for the backlash was because Guan Yu's requirements were too high, and half was caused by Fu Shiren's coercion. Zhao Feng felt that now that he had come to this world, he should try to avoid such a tragedy.
The group came to Tao Qian's mansion, and Tao Qian immediately ordered another banquet. It is said that the dinner table is the best way to shorten the distance between people, and this is also true in ancient times. It can be seen that most of the people in Xuzhou are grateful from the bottom of their hearts for Liu Bei being able to send charcoal to the rescue. Especially Mi Zhu, he did not hesitate to praise Liu Bei's benevolence and righteousness, which made Liu Bei dare not even say it.
Speaking of later, Guan Hai and Zhang Fei mentioned how Zhao Feng dared to break into Cao's camp with 200 cavalry, and how he led the army to forcibly break through the blockade of Cao's army and enter the city to join everyone.
"I don't know if General Zhao is Guigeng this year?" Tao Qian saw that Zhao Feng seemed to be still young, so he asked.
"Don't Lao Tao Mansion Jun ask, the end will be eighteen this year." Zhao Feng replied. At this time, everyone exclaimed again, and Tao Qian also sighed: "I didn't expect General Zhao to be so young, and he dared to go straight to thousands of troops at the age of eighteen. But I don't know if this last sentence was intentionally said.
As soon as these words came out, the Xuzhou officials at the banquet were a little embarrassed. The civil official is just a good one, as the only two generals, Mi Fang smiled and didn't say anything, but Cao Bao couldn't sit still. This guy rolled his eyes, and then said to Zhao Feng: "200 people dare to break into the camp of the Cao army, isn't General Zhao exaggerating?" ”
Guan Hai and Zhang Fei's faces changed and they were about to speak, Zhao Feng had already straightened his waist and asked, "I don't know who this general is?" ”
"I am Cao Bao, the general of Xuzhou Yamen!" Cao Bao pretended to be reserved. Unexpectedly, as soon as his words fell, Zhao Feng immediately pointed at him with a silver smile on his face, and the smile was so exaggerated that he was about to rub his stomach and couldn't straighten his waist.
"What are you laughing at?" Cao Bao said a little angrily, and the rest of the people at the banquet were also a little inexplicable. Zhao Feng reluctantly stopped laughing and said: "Don't blame you, just because I heard that General Cao's name is really unique, so I can't help laughing, don't blame, don't blame." ”
"Cao Bao? Isn't it just a straw bale, hahahaha!! Zhang Fei also reacted and laughed twice, and Guan Hai laughed with him without any image. The people in Xuzhou were embarrassed by the face of their colleagues, and they were very hard for a while. As for Cao Bao himself, his face turned a little blue with anger, and it was not until Liu Bei stopped Zhang Fei and Guan Hai from laughing that he eased up a little.
"I don't know what General Zhao's good strategy is, can he retreat this Cao Ying's 100,000 army?" Cao Bao, who had eased up, was eager to save face, but at the moment, he ignored Liu Bei and Tao Qian's existence, and directly questioned Zhao Feng. "Hehe, the soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth. Cao Ying's people are only 100,000, and the existing families and horses in Xuzhou City add up to no less than 50,000, with one enemy and two, and the Xuzhou city wall is high and solid, and I am afraid that Cao Ying can fly up. Zhao Feng was also angry.
"I heard that General Zhao meant that the Cao army was vulnerable, since this is the case, then ask General Zhao to retreat from the Cao soldiers with great might." At this time, a civil official sitting next to Cao Bao on the right side took over the conversation. It's none other than Xu Tan.
"What's so hard about that?" Zhao Feng knew that Lu Bu's second and fifth boy was going to stab Cao Ying in the back immediately, and he would withdraw his troops within three days at the latest. So Zhao Feng thought and said, "If I can retreat Cao Bing within three days, so what?" ”
"Huh?" As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked, and everyone thought that Zhao Feng was a young man who didn't know the sky. "Bo Tao should not say lightly, how to retreat from the enemy still needs to be considered in the long run." Even Liu Bei spoke out to stop it.
"If you can retire Cao Bing within three days, you can do whatever you want." Cao Bao ignored Xu Tan's eyes to stop him, and made his debut.
"Well, all of you are witnesses. In this case, if I can't retreat Cao Bing, I will be at my disposal. Zhao Feng was secretly refreshed in his heart, but he still looked arrogant. At the same time, he noticed that almost all the officials in Xuzhou shook their heads and said nothing, only one person looked at him, the expression on his face was thoughtful, and when he saw that he was noticing him, he only smiled a little obscenely, and then lowered his head and drank. It's none other than Xuzhou, don't drive Chen Deng Chen Yuanlong.
Next, under the promotion of Tao Qian and Liu Bei, the atmosphere of the scene was also harmonious, which could be regarded as the pleasure of the guests and hosts. After the banquet was over, Zhao Feng and Guan Hai followed Liu Bei to the accommodation arranged by Tao Qian to rest.
"Bo Tao, you are too impulsive today." As soon as he closed the door, Liu Bei sighed. Zhao Feng smiled: "Does the lord think that Feng is angry today?" ”
"Huh? Could it be that Botao has already made up his mind? Liu Bei heard what Zhao Feng said and hurriedly asked.
"Lord, this time Cao Ying came to invade Xuzhou, one is revenge, and the other is to annex Xuzhou. No matter why, he aimed at a quick battle, so almost the whole army was dispatched, and the rear of Yanzhou was bound to be empty. Now Yuan Shao is in the north and Lu Bu is in the west, these two are both tigers and wolves, how can they sit back and see the opportunity and not take advantage of it. Zhao Feng patiently explained.
"What you say is not unreasonable, but such a bet is too dangerous." Liu Bei also understood a little, but he was still a little worried. "The so-called wealth is in danger, let's bet on this. As long as this Cao Bao is dealt with, the lord will be in charge of Xuzhou. Zhao Feng said with a smile.
"Entering Xuzhou?" Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, and then the doorman outside the door came to report: Xuzhou Don't drive Chen Deng, Zhizhong Mi Zhu, and Guangling Taishou Zhao Yu came to visit, Liu Bei hurriedly came out to greet him.
